Tonight's NBA schedule: Injured powers make title push

A quick look at the 10-game NBA schedule for Wednesday, April 10, ranking games by watchability (all times p.m. Eastern): MUST-WATCH: San Antonio Spurs (57-20) at Denver Nuggets (53-24), 10:30, ESPN POWER

The discussion at this time of year often centers on first-round playoff matchups, but those never are the most interesting. Here, the Spurs and Nuggets give a preview of a possible second-round or even Western Conference finals match. Well, almost. Spurs guard Manu Ginobili and Nuggets guard Ty Lawson are both sidelined, likely for the rest of the regular season, and they are key playmakers for their teams. Neither team stands much of a chance at fulfilling its potential without health, and the Nuggets already are without forward Danilo Gallinari, who is out for the regular season and playoffs with a torn knee ligament.
